WELL!!! I found out I have diabetes! Not the greatest of news... but I am fighting it :) Gotta get my weight down and exercise some more and before long I will be okay. Got me going on some pretty heavy meds and testing 6 times a day, not to mention the STRICT diet that I am on, but hey - its all for the better :) Needless to say these last two weeks have been fairly stressful and packed full with doctors visits etc... and I still managed to lose just under two pounds to make my total just OVER 10 LBS!!!!! :D Anyways.. just wanted to make sure you all knew i was still kickin :P take care! xx Brooke

Brooke, it sounds like you are a woman who is going to kick diabetes butt! I am sorry that you have gone through such a stressful time but now you know what you are fighting and you will be victorious. You are a strong woman!

Good job on the loss, especially with all the stress. Hopefully you'll be able to come off some of the meds once you show the docs you're kickin' butt with your diet and exercise plan. It's good that you're keeping a positive outlook with the situation, and you could even use it as a source of motivation. My big motivating factor for starting to get healthy was finding out my cholesterol levels were near 300. Instead of freaking out, I became more determined to make changes to better my health. I hope everything works out for you and good luck with the weeks to come.
